Recently,oxidation processes under controlled conditions(atmosphere,temperature,and time) are used to prepare various oxides,carbides,or nitrides with micro-/nano-struetures,well-defined composition,dimension, shape and properties.The use of oxidation now includes thin film and nano-/micro-sized devices, and porous oxides for sensing and catalysis purposes.This paper introduces the research activities in the authors' group on applications of oxidation as a tool for synthesis of functional materials.展开更多
